Aaron Hall
Don’t Leave Me
[Verse 1:]
Somebody told me the other day
Your patience was wearing thin
I've heard you were slow to anger
But wouldn't always strive with men
And I have to admit
You have asked me to quit time and time again
But this feels like the last time
Feels like I'm living in the last time

Kinda remind me how my Momma told me
"Boy, the stove is hot."
It wasn't that she didn't want me to eat food
She didn't want me to touch the pot
Now she had to reprimand with a backhand
But the message I finally got

Y'all, it feels like the last time
Feels like I'm living in the last time

[Chorus:]
Don't leave me
I don't deserve for you to stay
But don't leave me
What I done, you shoulda been gone far away
Don't leave me
Give me one more chance I pray
Living in the last time
Gotta have a made-up mind
Don't leave me
[Verse 2:]
Somebody called me the other week
Said, "Boy, you really got time
You know you're young, go out have fun
Before you make up you mind."
And I have to admit I have slipped from time-to-time
But this feels like the last time
Feels like I'm living in the last time

Kinda reminds me how my Daddy told me
"Boy, don't move the car"
But when he went in the store
I put the pedal to the floor
Did what I wanted anyhow
Can you imagine, my friend, it was the basement again
When he found out what I done
Y'all this feels like the last time
Feel like I'm living in the last time

[Chorus]

[Bridge:]
Heaven knows how long its been
Don't know where and I can't say when
Sure would be nice to feel your spirit again
I must say since I been alone
I can't face it on my own
That is why you hear my spirit groan
[Chorus](2x)

[Ad-libs:]
I can't live without your spirit
God I need you near me Lord
Give me one more chance

Yeah, yeah
I can't live without your Love
Give me one more chance

Oh Lord I can't live without your spirit
You know I've got to be right near it
Just give me one more chance

[Bridge]

And I'm crying...

[Vamp:]
If you ever left me, if you ever left me
If you ever left me, if you ever left me
Where would I be?

[Ad-libs:]
I couldn't make it
I couldn't take it
I'd cry all night long
You see, you see, the sun wouldn't rise
Moon wouldn't glow
Stars come out at night
Vegetation grow
Ohh, Don't Leave me Lord
I couldn't find my way home
I wouldn't know what to do Lord
I wouldn't want to get up out of my bed
You might as well bury me!
I wouldn't want to live, wouldn't want to live
Well, don't leave me
Lord, don't leave me
